They're supposed to be casual shoes, but I don't think durability is the issue. The wool uppers aren't waterproof at all, so in snow you'd just be soaked.- I've got a pair that I have worn in Colorado; My feet stayed dry though I was not snowshoing; you can spray them with a waterproofing and that helps a lot!

"Problem: you've just been invited along on a big cat-skiing trip heading into the legendary, powder-choked slopes of Colorado's backcountry. But, your stick is way too short to handle that type of action! Solution? The Rossignol Big-Gun! With this baby you will be the king of the cat: even the guides will be impresessed with your tool. Ride all day long in the deepest snow you can find and you'll never stop cruising even in the bottom of the bowl when the terrain mellows out. Hint: wear orange ski jacket so you'll stand out later at the bar when the video is rolling...the ladies will love the footage of you man-handling all that silky-smooth pow with your new, big stick!"

I was looking for a compartmentalized duffel, and this fits the bill. I use it in the car and on the plane, and having the 3 way carry is great for flying through the airport. I also use it as a ski bag, because I can organize all the small things in the compartments. An Eagle Creek Pack it Folder fits perfectly inside when you fold one of the compartments down, as well as the Pack it cubes, to keep things organized. I would highly recommend this bag to anyone!

It has two giant brass valves for fast inflation, and a velvety soft sleeping surface. It is 2 1/2 inches thick which offers plenty of warmth and comfort. It will fit perfectly in trucks with a platform above the wheel wells, and it comes with a stuff sack and a repair kit.
